Vresbittriatt Nanner. PITTSBURGH, FEBRUARY 3, 1864 The War. • Things look more threatening than they did a week ago. Longstreet's forces have bceu augmented, and he has pressed our outpost into Knoxville, killing and wound ing many; and capturing a large amount of provisions and transportation. He is also impeding our communications by way of Cumberland Gap, and threatening an in vnsion of Eastern Kentucky. This we.re gard as being more mortifying, than really dangerous. It was said, last Fall, that Longstreet's retreat was cut .bff, and he must surely be "bagged:" But it did not come to pass. Further South and West also, the rebels are showing a renewed vigor. There is evidently an effort, while many of our vet. erans are home recruiting and before many new levies reach the post of danger, to mass large forces, and wage an early and vigor ous campaign. It may result in benefits to us. .The exposure in inclement Weather must waste their troops; and their vigorous onslaught will arouse the North. Only let our people beoome sufficiently stimulated, and the war will soon end. • We are pleased to see that the President has issued a call for 600,000 men.. There is to be a draft in March, and the men are called out for three years, :or the war. Whether this is intended to raise the. last call of 300;000, who are not yet all ob tained, to 500,000; or whether it is a call for the 500,000 in addition to the former, is not clear. If the latter is the meaning, it looks like real earnestness.; and we the more rejoice in it. Life and money will b.? saved by calling out a force which shall be irresistable. MOBILE, as is said, is soon to be assailed by our forces. CIIARLESTON has, lately, been less an noyed by our shells than formerly.

LONDON, January 3, 1864. A CONSPIRACY apparently against the life of the French Emperor, has been balk ed of its vile purpose,. by the vigilance of the French police. It seems to have been hatched in London among the Italian refu gees. Italy has long been accustomed, un der oppression, to use the stiletto; but it is a base and unblessed means of attaining political deliverance. The impatience of the Italians is great at the continued occu pation of Rome (and the consequent coun tenance of Papal rule) by the French troops, and some are found so unprincipled and impatient as to remove the great bar rier between the kingdom and its capital, by assassination. With the four men ar rested in Paris, were found a great quanti ty of gunpowder, four poinards, four re volvers, four air-guns of a new and ingeni ous construction, phosphorus, percuseion caps, fuses several metres in length, and hand grenades made on the Orsini pattern. The former attempt on the life of Napo leon, by Orsini, is thus vividly recalled, as well as its failure, and the execution of that unhappy man whose jet black hair turned white i n a night, in the prospect of the scaffold. He was supposed to have been formerly well acquainted in Italy with the young adventurer, Louis Napoleon ' and that the latter had such relations with as a ,joint-member of a standing body of political conspirators against the former Papal regime that has life might have been spared. But " dead men-tell no tales;' he was undoubtedly a murderer in intent, and so he perished.miserably. GARIBALDI has issued a proclamation intended to rouse the Italians to arms against Austria ) in order to rescue Venetia from her grasp. He denounces the " in trigues of diplomacy," and mere Parlia mentary government. " What remains for the Italians to do ? Let them unite ! but no longer in support of men whose antece dents of tortuous policy promise nought save hatred, discord, renewal of party violence, and fatal disenchantment. Let them unite 1 but in the name of him in whose loyalty we confide in a supreme cri- sis—in Victor Emmanuel. Ile alone nev er failed in his given word. The country may confide in him in the approaching struggle. Let the Pailiament be closed. Let the lista foiethe conscription open, be fore the arrival of Spring, for the speedy formation of columns of volunteers, who will form the vanguard of the regular ar my., This appeal is a symptom, rather than a forerunner; that is to say, it indicates im patience, but it will not lead to Victor Emmanuel becoming a Dictator. Italy is all the better of her Parliament; she ig grad ually but surely arming and preparing for a conflict that shall be final ; and it is thus and then—not yet, nor as Garibaldi antici pates, that " brigandage will cease; the ramparts of Austria will yield; the people of Venetia and Illytia will rise in insur rection ; Italy will regain her own influ ence, and, mistress of her own interests, will be in position to seize the Capital." THE DEATH. of the Rev. Frederick Mon' od, the veteran Protestant pastor in Paris, will be widely lamented in the Uni ted States, as well as in this country. He was a man of qingular disinterestedness, great zeal, and purest piety. He " labored more abundantly" than most of his breth ren, and he was the leader and life of that Free Church movement which caused the Evangelical tlergy of the French Protestant Church, at great -pecuniary sacrifice, to separate themselves from the State. He was well known in London, and had help given him in his enterprises, by the Tract Society. Da. DUFF probably sailed from Calcutta a few days ago. It is his final departure from India. ISthey farewell honors will have. been paid him—including an address from the Calcutta. Missionary Conference. The proposal to erect a permament memo rial of his great services is being actively carried out. ail. large and influential Com mittee has been formed, of which the Bishop of Calcutta is Chairman, and a Judge of the High Court, Vice-Chair man. The Committee includes men of all ranks, " officials and non-officials, merchants and missionaries, Christians and Moham medans, Hindus and Parsees—all actuated by one desire." It has been finally re solved,." That the Memorial to Dr. Duff be a. Hall, to be erected near the new build ings for the University and Presidency College, ID be devbted to meetings and lectures on Christian subjects, and to philanthropic and benevolent . objects of a cognate character; the .purposes. to which it is to be applied to be always determined by five trustees, nomi nated in the first instance by Dr. Duff himself, and afterwards self-elected accotd ing to laws laid flown by him • and that in these trustees the property shell be vested." As most of your readers are aware, Dr. - Duff will, after his return to Scotland, be come the Convener of the Free Church Assembly's Foreign Mission Committees. During the rainy season, and under much weakness of body, Dr. Duff was greatly re- , oruited by a voyage to Singapore, China, Ceylon, Bombay, and' Madras. His visits to each were necessarily brief. Even a cursory view, however, of Chinese matters, led him at once to the conclusion that, in the general impression made on the people at large by English life, civilization and Christianity, China stands many years be hind the position we have attained in In pia; while in the perfect stillness of all life in Java and the Dutch islands, in the utter luck of all activity in their intellec tual,*commercial, and political world; be recognized the state of things which was universal in India toward the doe of the last Century. , With profound satisfaction, Dr. Duff found at Hong Kong that Dr, Legge, of the London Missionary Society, was making steady progress translating the Chinese Classics. Knowing the great value of the modern re-publication of the Hindu Shas ters, both in the Sanscrit and English lan guages; remembering that every new ef fort to make these Singers accessible to their votaries had only exposed new error, and has been destructive of their authority, Dr. Duff has felt that in China, too, to give bah missionaries and people full access to the great books on which modern belief rests, can only tend to trlake error clear, and to bhow• the need of 'a Revelation really sent from heaven. He is anxious therefore to see Dr. Legge set free as far as possible from the routine of missionary work, in order to devote his time, scholarship and experience tb the completion of his work. PRESBYTERIAN MISSIONS among the Irish Roman Catholics have recently re ceived vigorous help at Belfast. It is known to some of your readers that the, venerable and Rev. Robert Allen presides , over a number of Mission •Schools in the Province of Connaught: This excellent man was lately deprived, by early death, of a• beloved daughter, his helper and hand in every good work. Sympathy flowed :to ward him from every part, of the Kingdom, while Belfast and Ulster have lately sent him a sum of nearly £1,500, partly raised by subscription and partly by a sale of la: dies' work. •Thus the good man's mind is freed from much anxiety, and in his sorrow he finds the calmness which comes -from strong and living faith. THE LATE OitIgTMAS 89/11901:112,8 well as the New Year and the severe frost which spelidi ly followed it, have brought out liberal gifts to the poor and destitute, both in London and the-Provinces.' At Christmas time we have a resuscitation of the old 44 Carols." Here is one of these, founded on a well known parable and pithily rebi4r.ing hard hearted luxurious self-indulgence : As it fell out upon a day, Rich Dives made a feast, And he invited all his friends And gentry of the best. Then Lazarus laid him down and wept, . And down at Dives'`door, Some meat, some drink, brother Dives, Bestow upon the poor. • . Thou art none of my brother, Lazerus, That is begging at my gate; No meat, no drink Aral I give thee, .. For Jesus Christ his sake. , • Then Dives sent out his hungry dogs To worry poor Lazarus away : They . , had not poiver to bite one bit, But licked his soros away. Now it fell out upon a day,. Lazarus sickened and died, There came two angels down from heaven, Thereto his soul to guide. , ' As it fell out upon a day, Dives sickened s and died; There came two serpents out oflell, Thereto his soul to guide. Rise up, rise up, brother Dives, And come along with me, There is place prepared in hell • From which thou canst not flee. • A sudden arrest has been put upon labor —especially that of masons, excavators, &0.--by the change of weather . - and thus there are many families l udistress. ' The continuance of frost is greatly dreaded. That however is a rare thing in this coun try. But at present the frost is general over Europe.

At Edinburgh and elsewhere the Scotch people are in a state of the greatest possible delight at the opportunity given them of practicing their favorite game of " curling.' On Dudding stone Lough, in the Royal Park at Edin btrgh, curling-matches are daily played. Our Flung Prince Alfred, who has gone for the Winter to Studgate,.the Edinburgh University, is seen skating every day. He is a fine, frank, kind youth, and very simple and unassuming in his manners.

His sage counsels will be valuable to her, dbw that her trusted ad viser and consort has been forever removed from her side. For the Presbyterian Banner Archbishop Hughes in Purgatory. MESSRS. EDITORS :—John Hughes, ,by the grace of the Pope, Archbishop, died on the 3d of January of the current year. And from your neighbor, the Catholic, of January 23d, I learn that he was cast into Purgatorial fires, "Ao as to be made worthy to enter into the presence 'of God." This was distinctly assumed by Bishop M'Closkey in his sermon at the funeral obsequies of the Archbishop, and " bishops, priests and holy virgins." are summoned to•the rescue. The Pittsburgh• Catholic published the same sentiment on the 23d of January. In glancing over this remarkable sermon, sev eral things have struck my mind as rather singular. Permit me .to present a few of them to your readers. .• 1. I am not. quite satisfied of the Abso lute oorreetness. of the following statement : The death of the Archbishop, we are told, was " the loss of the whole Church. in this country ;" for, adds Bishop M'Closkey, " we do not doubt, -we cannot - doubt, that when the electric spark carried with its lightning speed the, sad tidings of his death throughout the length and breadth of the country, it thrilled every heart, especially every Catholic heart." "It thrilled every heart throughout the length andbreadth Of the country !" Well, I have my doubts about the thrilling; and, to be candid, I am not one of those who, as the Bishop rags cannot doubt that every heart was thrilled r ' cannot I rather suspect there were soy oral large denominations who have no " Catholic " hearts amongthem, and that quite a number of them felt no " thrill of anguish" at all.. %Kat no; I correct myself. • They felt a deep concern that a man who might have been eminently useful in the world, should have lived and died under the deep delusions and imposture of such a sys tem as Popery. . 2. Judging - from my own limited obser- Vation, I rather think many- persons would dissent from the following passage, where, after pronouncing Bishop Hughes " the great prelate of the American Clukrch," Bishop M'Closkey adds : " As we look now upon, that Jife, through the softened and gentle lustre which death has already thrown around it, it seems .to rise up—its charao -ter to rise up—even in• colossal sublimity. All former prejudices are forgetten, all an imosities laid aside, all differeaces, either of creed, feeling, or opinion—all melt and fade away in that august, imposing and ven erable presence. We think only of the great prelate and the-great than," &c., &e. Now, Messrs. Editors, I have very little faith in this summary method of convert ing us all from .our " differences of creed, feeling and opinion." The process re minds the Protestant of the wholesale man ner in which some Romish missionaries are reported as having converted large. num bers of the heathen, viz.: by collecting the crowd on the river bank and using a large bro.= in their baptism.. - 3. I cannot entirely agree with Bishop M'Closkey when, in his sermon on the dead Archbishop, he says of his wonderful works': "The whole diameter of the Oath-. olic people was raised to an elevation -which he himself occupied." If .this is strictly true,.common fame has greatly belied the. Catholics of New-York ; and tlieArchbish op could not have stood on.a very elevated "eminence "—otherwiss it is certainly an exaggeration to say that "he seemed to raise up to it all his people." But where is the Archbishop ? I bbgan this, article with the announcement that Archbishop Hughes had been sent to Pur gatorial flames ;' to make him worthy to appear in the preience of God." This sur prised me even more than the pulpit curi osities already noticed. This, to say the least, is a sad fall from _the elevalecl emi nence to which he had lifted all, the Catho lics of New-York ! In another brief article I propose to examine whether the-Archi bishop be indeed in such a state of Purga torial preparation for heaven. For the Yrealgterlan Banner. '(UnionO Colleges." MESSRS. EDITORS :—Your article' on this subject, tvo weeks ago, was timely, just and:in good spirits. Its object is surely in harmony with the views and expecta tions of the public," whose desire is " a first-class College" in this region. The proposition fox the union of Washington and Jefferson Colleges, so unanimously adopted by the Synods of Waeling, Pitts burgh, and Ohio, based upon the condi tional offer of $50,000, is an unmistakable eviden.ce of the deep and generaffeeling pervading the community on that subject. Is it possible that this , last hope of " a con summation so devontly to be wished," can fail ? But your readers will not only infer that any negotiations between the two Boards have thus far been ineffectual, b'u also that the prospect is less hopeful, than has gen: erally been supposed. The proposition of the Synods to lave the question of loca tion—the only difficult question connected with`the whole subject—to disintereited arbitrament, was so fair and equitable that either institution must incur a fearful responsibility by declining it. Yet it is more than whispered that one of them has not only refused to entertain 'this-'wise, method of adjustment, but also declines to negotiate on any basis admitting the pos sibility of a loss of the site. If this be so, it is not quite so clear to my minlbs it ap pears to be to, yours, that the *offaer side should yield everything involved in the main question.. This would .1:4, at least, a rare instance of magnanimity toward a party which " cannot stain to the degree of disinterested, public, Christian spirit," which you and' others 'think the case, so plainly requires. Without asserting that rumor represents the facts correctly, it may not be improper to ask for information, whether'these things be so. But though not prepared to speak for Jefferson College, I am prepared from evi- deuce which I cannot doubt, to state that the Trustees of Washington promptly, and without hesitation, placed themselves upon the platform of the proposition from the Synods, and are still ready, at any time, to negotiate on that basis. They are quite willing to submit the whole question of lo cation to disinterested persons, jointly chosen, .whatever may be their decision. Will it be expected that they should en entirely forego their self-respect, by treat ing in any other way than a's an, equal party, and upon terms mutually fair and reasonable ? This is a time when the friends of both' institutions should rise above local or . party jealousies, and look mainly at the public interests. Should the present just and plausible aoheme prove a failure, it will be matter of lasting regret to all lovers of IBM January Est at Glade Run Parsonage. The house was crowded with the. Old and the young, male and female. They took possession of pastor, study, kitchen, grana ry, and coalhouse, without permission or asology. They had done so before. Every -IThere they left behind them many substan tial tokens of material good will, composed of just such articles as would be expected of sensible Christian people who believe that ministers and their families need to be fed, clothed, and warmed by the same sub stances as others. Good cheer was evi dently among their intentions, for they brought with them a good dinner and smi ling countenances, 'Which we all enjoyed. And lest anything might be forgotten—. —but nothing was -4g greenbacks" were provided to procure it. We regretted the absence of those de tained by sickness; not for their gifts— enough was brought—but because their good health and presence would have added still more to our enjoyment. /he tables cleared, the pastor read Phil. 4th chapter, and returned his own, and the thanks of his family, to the kind people for their favors, worth five times their money value to them• as an expression of - affection and esteem. Rev. J. M. Jones, Principal of Glade Run Academy, gave out a hymn and offered prayer. Egon after, the-company dispersed te . their homes, all seeming to feel they had spent a happy day. May our God supply all their need accord ing to h!riches in glory by Jesus Christ. G. W. MBOHLIN. . MESSRS."EDITORS :—To the numerous testimonies given in the Banner, of the favors conferred by Presbyterian churches upon their pastors these days, permit me to mention that their brethren in faith. and discipline, the Welsh Calvinistic Metho dist church, at Freedom; Cattaraugus Co., New-York, have also-visited their pastorat his residence in. Sandusky, in the same township,'on tho first day of Xanuary, do nating for the use of himself and family, in cash, $93.89, and in provisions $50.56, *Mel, together with $30.05 collected late ly by a few young ladies,-to preserit him with a " top coat," brings the whole amount to the handsome• sum of $174.00. May the Lord render double unto -them it re turn, is my heart's desire. - It is always pleasant to be . agreeably sur prised. When notified by a member of my Session to be at home on the 21st instant at 10 o'clock, the first thought suggested was a wedding at the parsonage. This, too, is agreeable, but no surprise. .Rut when the church of Laurel Hill made a donation visit to their pastor—an incident.wilhout a precedent in the history of the congrega tion - Sinceits organizatien in 1776—the surprise was_ doubly agreeable. From certain - families and inlividuals, the undersigned, during a pastorate of al most feurteen years, has received various marks of substantial kindness; but no gen eral simu!taneous effort of the kind was made,, until the date above mentioned.. The amount contributed, in money and. its equivalent, somewhat exceeded $lOO. With the small salaries so common in the country, such a gift is of real value, aside from - the evidence thus afforded of an in terest in the comfort of the pastor and his family. Tee kindly greetings of friends and fellow-worshippers—the pleasant - social intercourse of the occasion—the sweet min glings. of heart and sympathy in the clos ing religious services, was well adapted to extend. and foster the' reciprocal interest felt by pastor and people in each other's presint and eternal weal. ;That the choicest blessings .of a.

On the 28th of January said church was well represented at their pastor's residence in Darlington. Their visit was one o*kindness. Every counte nance was bright; every heart was happy. The generous seemed' to feel the truth of the words of Jesus Christ, when he said, " It is more blessed to give than to receive." A sumptuous dinner was provided and served up by the ladies of the party. But that was not all; the • party left 'behind them many tokens of kindness, such as flour, wheat, oats, hams, fruj o t, &e., and last, but .not least, 'enough of that which Il i answereth all things" to buy - something brandsome. Besides the important and pecuniary worths of their liberal and seasonable dona tions the visit and social intercourse were peculiarly gratifying, as a mark of esteem and good will to him who labors. among them in word and doctrine.
